Appendix:Brick Bronze Walkthrough/Chapter 2

Chapter 2 — Abduction and Ambush!

Parents Kidnapped!
All your neighbours, along with Prof. Cypress, are seen around your house at Mitis Town. When Jake brings you home, Cypress is relieved to see that you are fine, but personally delivers the bad news that, in the very short time you are away on Route 1, your in-game parents are kidnapped! He suspects that they were abducted by an evil organization called Team Eclipse, who believes that people and Pokémon are not at harmony with each other. He mentions that Team Eclipse members are dangerous and not to be trifled with. At this point, if you remember those 2 goons in weird uniforms on the outskirts of Mitis Town when you headed onto Route 1, you should realize that they are actually Eclipse Grunts.

As for why your parents became the target of Team Eclipse, Cypress claims that he has no idea what Team Eclipse wants from them, but he makes a hypothesis that it should be related to their skills as archaeologists, especially that they are familiar with Pokémon of legends in this region, named Roria. Next up he asks if your parents said anything about their work to you, then he saw your Bronze Brick necklace. At last he warns that Mitis Town is no longer safe for you, and instructs you to find his friend in Cheshma Town:

"You can't miss her house, it has a blue roof."

Before parting ways, Cypress reminds you to be careful and do not go looking for trouble. He is no longer seen at Mitis Town from this point onwards. Unlike any Pokémon Professors in the core series, Cypress actually does not stay in his Lab. Anyway, there is nothing to do here for now, so heal your Pokémon by talking to you-know-who, and head south onto Route 1 again towards Cheshma Town.

Cheshma Town
Passing through the blue gate on Route 1, you arrive at Cheshma Town where Cypress told you to find his friend here. In fact, his friend Linda has already got the message from Cypress and is waiting for you at the town entrance. She kindly leads you straight to her house — which indeed has a blue roof.

She chats with you while inside, understanding that you must be missing your parents so much, and asks if you have anything to remember them by. You show her the Bronze Brick necklace, which she has a look on it, saying that it is old ...... and valuable ...... then suddenly bolts out of her house with it! What in the world?

Get out of her house once you regain control of your character. Jake arrives to the scene and has witnessed Linda running into Gale Forest, as the bridge on Route 2 is blocked off due to roadworks. He immediately rushes there and blocks off the exit.

Before actually heading inside, you are strongly recommended to heal your Pokémon in the Pokémon Centre first. As Gale Forest is apparently a dead-end, Linda is not going anywhere. Just talk to the Nurse behind red counter and she will heal your team. A PC to the top right can also be accessed for depositing or retrieving your Pokémon — once you have a full party of 6 Pokémon, those you catch afterwards are automatically sent here for storage. The blue counter on lower right is Poké Mart, where you stock up on medicines and Poké Balls.

Speaking of Poké Ball, around Cheshma Town entrance where you meet up with Linda, sneak through one of the narrow passages and a Poké Ball can be picked up behind the trees. A Squirtle fountain at the town centre is built in memory of a deceased Squirtle. Next to the Pokémon Centre is a café called Starbucks ...... no, Sawsbuck Coffee. Talk to the barista inside to receive a cup of Sawsbuck Coffee, which is a unique item for occasionally making your Pokémon accelerate when held. Once you are ready, head into the forest.

Gale Forest
Heal your Pokémon before proceeding.

Welcome to Gale Forest — one of the areas with the most diverse Wild Pokémon species.
